Alexela launches new EV charging site focused on foodservice

The Estonian energy company’s newest site stands out with the most powerful charger in the country alongside a restaurant run by a chef with Michelin-level experience.

Alexela unveiled the result of its largest investment in a service station so far. This includes the addition of a restaurant with almost a hundred seats where all food is prepared on site with local ingredients, and the first 400 kilowatt charger in Estonia.

The facility is located in Täkupoiss and also features a 120 kilowatt solar park. Its restaurant is overseen by Dimitri Roos, a leading chef with Michelin experience and numerous awards.

"We are proud of Täkupoiss - it is in every sense of the word an energy department store of the future. With a 400 kilowatt charger today we are ahead of the market, but soon the whole of Estonia will be covered with fast and ultra-fast chargers," said Marti Häel, Chairman of the Board of Alexela.

Customers can fill up with any conventional fuel and LPG car gas, and the service station has chargers of various variants, as well as filling stations with AdBlue and windshield washer fluid. 

Alexela’s new service station concept also includes a truck parking lot with showers, a support point for motorhomes and the possibility of renting smart trailers.
